. IMPROVEMENT INIBARS FOR PLOWSHARES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,154, dated May 9,1876; application filed March 21, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAG N. PYLE, of Decatur, Adams county, Indiana,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Iron and have nothing todo but to cut it off to the proper length and weld it into its place.

The invention consists in iron and steel bars, as a new article ofmanufacture, rolled flat upon one side, and with a double bevel upon itsother side, a wide bevel to an edge along the forward edge of the bar,and a narrow bevel not to an edge along the rear edge of I the bar, ashereinafter fully described.

A represents a bar of iron or steel, which is rolled flat upon one sideand inclined or beveled to an edge upon the other side, said bevel orinclination extending from the forward edge of the bar nearly to itsrear edge, and is slightly beveled from its thickest part to said-rearedge. The bar is thus in proper shape for use, and all the blacksmithhas to do is to cut it off in proper lengths and weld it to its place.

The bars A are designed to be rolled into the shape herein shown anddescribed, and sold as ordinary bar iron and steel are sold.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent' As a new article of manufacture, a-rolled metallicbar drawn to a sharp edge, having flat bottom, a long upward bevel fromsaid edge, and from thence a short rearward bevel, meeting aperpendicular rear side, substantially as shown and described.
